Took Roadster out garage for a run only to notice both wings has large bubbles under the paint work. They have originated from the locating pins of the foot rails.
The car is 7 years old. Should this of happened. Any advise best way forward please.

Very common. Slightest thinning of paint around the oversize tread holes, which allow water to be trapped, and it starts. I removed my treads to check and found very slight onset of corrosion. Hand touched up paint underneath and refitted with plenty of silicone grease and nylon washers between treads and bodywork.
